How EasyKnock Promotes Customers’ Financial Stability and Flexibility

In the face of current economic challenges, homeowners who want access to the equity they’ve built can face serious roadblocks, including the ability to qualify for a home equity loan or line of credit. Options such as personal loans or refinancing are unattractive because of high interest rates. EasyKnock, a pioneering real estate solutions company, has developed an innovative approach to alleviate this pressure by converting home equity into cash through its sale-leaseback programs.

This leading-edge strategy allows homeowners to convert their home equity without the need to move out or take on new debt. EasyKnock aims to provide its customers with immediate financial relief and greater control over their financial future.

The Core of EasyKnock's Programs

EasyKnock’s flagship sale-leaseback programs, Sell & Stay and MoveAbility, are designed to offer homeowners unique ways to convert their home equity. These programs allow customers to remain in their homes while benefiting from the financial liquidity typically only available through selling, refinancing, or taking out a loan.

Unlike a HELOAN or HELOC, EasyKnock’s programs do not require customers  to take on new debt. This is particularly beneficial for those with existing financial burdens, for those not wanting to take on more debt or perhaps those having trouble qualifying for loan products with increasingly stringent restrictions. With the flexibility of EasyKnock’s sale-leaseback programs, homeowners can convert the cash they need today while staying in their homes, the communities they love and when ready, retain the option to repurchase the home or direct sale on the open market and realize any future appreciation.

The Sell & Stay program is ideal for those who want to convert their home equity into cash without the disruption of immediately moving. Homeowners sell their property to EasyKnock and then lease it back. They live as tenants for up to five years, retaining the option to repurchase the home or direct a sale on the open market and realize all future appreciation. By freeing up cash, this program allows customers  to manage their finances on their terms, using cash for various needs such as debt consolidation, unexpected expenses, or even expanding a small business.

MoveAbility is geared toward homeowners looking to transition to a new home. This program gives people access to their equity while planning their next move. They can sell their home to EasyKnock, receive the cash, and lease the home back until they are ready to move. This eliminates the stress of timing the sale of the current home with the purchase of a new one.

The Power of Partnership: EasyKnock and Piñata

A primary reason many homeowners enter EasyKnock’s sale-leaseback programs is to pay off existing debt, including credit card debt, medical debt, or other financial obligations. To further support this, the company partnered with Piñata, a platform that rewards renters for timely payments, to further support customers’ financial health. This partnership provides a dual benefit: logistical support and credit-building opportunities.

Through Piñata, EasyKnock customers can earn rewards for paying their rent on time. These rewards include gift cards, discounts and cash back on everyday purchases, access to renters’ insurance, and monthly giveaways. This provides an element of motivation for customers to maintain financial discipline.

The partnership with Piñata allows customers to exercise a targeted and proactive approach to improve their credit. Piñata helps renters build their credit by reporting timely rent payments to major credit bureaus. The company does not report late payments, which protects customers from potential negative impacts on their credit scores. In the initial months of this partnership, EasyKnock customers who signed up for Piñata saw an average credit score improvement of 57 points.

Solutions Through All Walks of Life

Financial needs and priorities shift dramatically across different stages of life. EasyKnock provides tailored solutions to help customers navigate these changes.

For younger homeowners looking to fund education, start a business, or manage other significant expenses, EasyKnock offers a flexible alternative to traditional loans. By converting home equity into cash without increasing their debt load, customers can pursue financial goals with greater confidence and stability, with the option to strengthen their credit for the future.

EasyKnock’s solutions also cater to middle-aged homeowners who may be dealing with the financial strains of raising a family, paying off existing debts, or planning for future expenses such as weddings or other life events. By converting  the equity in their homes, they can better manage their cash flow and meet their financial obligations and aspirations.

Real-Life Impact

The real-world impact of EasyKnock’s programs is best demonstrated through the experiences of its customers. According to testimonials, many customers have found financial stability and peace of mind through EasyKnock’s solutions.

One customer shared their story of facing financial challenges, trying to extract money from his home while managing bad credit and staying on top of bills. Amid his struggles and exhaustive search for solutions, he found EasyKnock. He found the EasyKnock team exceptionally helpful, responsive, and efficient. Currently in the first phase of the process, the customer reported that it has exceeded his expectations, and he is looking forward to the next phase.

Another testimonial highlighted the flexibility and convenience offered by the MoveAbility program. A homeowner, who was also a Realtor with eight years of experience, had initially heard about EasyKnock and was skeptical. Planning to sell her home and move to another state, she did not want to wait to purchase her next home or move into a rental in the interim. After speaking with an EasyKnock representative, her questions were thoroughly answered, and she gained a clear understanding of the costs and process. She was pleasantly surprised by the results. EasyKnock provided the perfect solution, allowing her to access her equity and lease back her home while finding a new one. She praised the company’s professionalism, transparency, and concise communication, highly recommending EasyKnock for those needing to use their equity to move.

EasyKnock’s innovative approach to home equity conversion is giving homeowners another option for how they manage their finances.

By continuously evolving and adapting to the needs of homeowners, EasyKnock is offering a service that can create greater financial empowerment. The ability to convert home equity without the traditional constraints of debt and displacement is making financial security a realistic and attainable goal for homeowners from all walks of life.
